Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

  1. In the Reno-Sparks area, there is a nonprofit that is dedicated to helping people who are transitioning out of homelessness. Soulful Seeds provides these people with the opportunity to grow and prepare their own food. Co-founder Earstin Whitten claims that giving people things is helpful, but teaching people how to be self-sufficient is even better. If you are interested in getting involved, please read the full article. (FoxReno.com)
  2. An apartment fire took place in south Reno this past Monday night at around 9:00 p.m. When the Reno Fire Department arrived at the Sherwood Apartments, they could see that the fire started in a kitchen on the second floor of the complex and spread to the third floor. According to reports, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. (KRNV)
  3. The pandemic caused everyone in the world to slow down, including runners across Northern Nevada. However, this Sunday, things are actually going to speed up because the Biggest Little Half Marathon is back! Owner and director of Reno Races, Sam Baugh, is "excited to welcome over 1,000 runners to the Biggest Little City this weekend." (KOLO)
